Some times in this life, we sit down
and wonder why we are in the situations
that we find our selves in.
Often times we are the architects of our
own demise and we don't even realize it .
We pray and pray expecting "manna" to fall
from heaven in some miraculous way
when the power to change our situations has already been
given to us.
All the devil needs is a crack to get in ,
a chink in the Armour to sink his claws
into our lives, and it may be in one moment of weakness
when we let our guard down.He knows he needs only a little pressure on our lives for us to fall.
Living a life of purity, if one has chosen to do so
means that you have got to obey the rules,You have got to set boundaries, restrictions . Like a castle that has a crocodile filled moat and a drawbridge, and archers on the tower. You have got to have defenses,
Defenses that only you absolutely control and nobody can breach those defenses.
Boundaries that you do not cross, and situations you foresee and do not get yourself into.
If sexual purity is your decision ,what do you do to keep that.
Well for one thing , dating people that believe sex is a rightful part of a dating relationship is out of the question, you are only setting yourself up for a fall, and when you fall, you will fall hard. Their belief does not make them bad people ,it just means that you are tuned into a different frequency that you are.
If you decide that alcohol is no longer a part of your life hanging out at a bar or club certainly won't help.
You got to realize that your flesh is your slave and not
the other way around, you tell your flesh what to do
not it telling you what to do. It obeys you and not you obeying it.
Whether that applies to food, sex,credit card purchases you know you can't afford.
In order to live up to God's expectations you have to have
so much control over your body that it is your slave .
This means that when your flesh craves sexual satisfaction
You tell it NO,When it craves revenge you tell it NO .When you have a
dodgy heart and it craves a Big Mac, you tell it a resounding NO.
Because of lack of self control many believers have become worthless rationalizing the word of God and making excuses for their yielding.
The Kingdom of God is not a democracy, we can not choose what laws we want to obey and which ones are not convenient for us.
Without self control there is no difference between a Christian and any body else.If we yield to whatever our flesh desires place before us.
then we might as well put down the cross and be on our way.
The devil's intention is to slap God in the face by having Christians (God's Kid's) yield to every desire of the flesh, doing the same things that the world does.
These days more than ever safe ain't safe at all today.
Quit your jibber jabber ,Don't be a statistic, DARE TO BE DIFFERENT.
